I'm always looking to make quick and easy weeknight meals, but especially on Mondays, when it's still sinking in that the weekend is over. Tempting as it is to order takeout and sulk, I've found it's much more rewarding to cook something at home and kickstart a week of eating healthy homemade meals.
Planning out what I'm going to cook makes the process that much easier — I can pick up groceries over the weekend or on my way home from work, which guarantees I'm not left standing totally clueless in my kitchen at 6 p.m. One Sunday, instead of rushing through the grocery store, I decided to take my time strolling through the aisles of Trader Joe's. I picked up some fun ingredients I had never tried before and combined them all for dinner — and the result was this brown rice bowl I've made every Monday since. Now, not only do I have a plan for Monday night dinner, but I also have a satisfying, protein-packed meal I look forward to every week.
